I was wondering if dual graphics would be better than one good solo card for a gaming desktop

Thanks in advance

834488 2009-11-28 21:45:00 What cards do you have in mind, for the single configuration and the dual configuration? Also what motherboard will you be using? narutophantom (12610)
834489 2009-11-28 23:35:00 Single is ALWAYS a better option period! SolMiester (139)
834490 2009-11-28 23:35:00 There are CF and SLI fans, but most including myself would prefer a single higher end GPU due to power, heat and noise not to mention poor scaling with CF and SLI in some games.

What resolution you plan to run? and your high end gaming?

834492 2009-11-29 00:32:00 All good points, just get the best you can now and when you have enough money again get another one :) narutophantom (12610)
834493 2009-11-29 00:57:00 2 only have an advantage in a few situations, spend the money on a the best single card you can get and youl get much more reliable performance hueybot3000 (3646)
834494 2009-11-29 00:58:00 Ditto.
One card. THE card. Nothing less.

834495 2009-11-29 04:50:00 Agreed with what the others say...

Unless you already have a 30" Monitor, GTX295 and (perversely) still want more power...
